Transfer station searched by policeJoanna laVoie [email protected]
The investigation into the recent discovery of human remains in Riverdale has lead to a search of the Commissioners Street Transfer Station.
Starting last Thursday and into the weekend, crews of
investigators from Toronto Police Service clad in white jumpsuits and face masks sifted through garbage dropped off at the solid waste depot at 400 Commissioners St., which is between Bouchette Street and Logan Avenue in the port lands.
K. Spence, who has lived near
Logan Avenue and Queen Street East for just under a decade, said she passed by the trans-fer station Thursday morning around 11:45 a.m. on her way to the gym and saw what appeared to be a “team of people dressed in white and a big police truck on the premises.”

This is where I want to live. Where kids and dogs rule the playground, and tennis is the neighbourhood’s
national sport. Where shops and restaurants are right around the corner, and finding a quiet green space
is a walk in the park. Bayview and Eglinton has always been a place that people want to move up to. And
when we get here, there’s nowhere else we would rather live. Because this is my home. This is my Leaside.

Cannabis dispensaries are springing up like weeds near Danforth and Chester
avenues.In the last six months, four mari-
juana retailers have opened their doors along the strip.
Weeds Glass and Gifts at 341 Danforth Ave. was the first. Located in a former Pan-Asian eatery that now has a large green marijuana leaf fixture in the front window, the Vancouver-based company has been doing steady business.
“Our first location in Toronto is here at Danforth and Chester,” said store manager, Michael. “We’re now in the process of opening our sixth location (in Toronto). We’re project-ing 20 of them across the GTA in the next year.”
Weeds has also recently opened a location in the Beach at 2211 Queen St. E.
Michael, who declined to give his last name, said the reaction from the community to Weeds opening up in the area has “overall been very welcoming”.
“You get the odd hater, but it’s because they don’t understand,” he said. “All of the people that come in here have some sort of medical ailment they’re trying to treat and they’re using cannabis as an alterna-tive form of medication.”
Like the majority of cannabis dispensaries, Weeds “members” must be 19 and older and present a medical note or be currently using a prescribed narcotic.
“We have enough knowledge with our staff to offer them an alternative,” Michael said, adding they offer can-nabis in edible, capsule, and flower form.
About three months ago, Medical Club set up shop next door to Weeds in what used to be a tea shop. This dispensary has a different and a much more discreet feel with heavy grey privacy curtains drawn and a sign on the door that reads “members only.”
A reporter tried to speak with the store’s manager, but the man who cracked open the door during a recent visit suggested a visit to their website to learn more. The Mirror reached out for comment via email but did not hear back.
Three doors down, S.W.E.D. Society is preparing to open its doors in a former accessory store. When The Mirror dropped by recently, workers were busy laying flooring for the new dispensary.
In an email, Adam Blender, S.W.E.D. Society’s director of opera-tions, said they decided to open up in the Danforth/Chester area because
they “found a lot of people were very welcoming to the idea of a medici-nal marijuana dispensary” in their neighbourhood.
“The diversity found within the neighbourhood was also a leading factor, especially when considering the needs of some of the residents,” he wrote.
“We have had nothing but posi-tive feedback from the community. They see we are doing things properly and for the right reasons. They see we are there to help those in need by offering quality products at an affordable price.”
At this dispensary, those wishing to purchase cannabis must be at least 19 years of age with valid identifica-tion and have a doctor’s prescrip-tion for cannabis or medication on hand prescribed by a phy-sician. Blender said this medication must be valid and it must be known that can-nabis has the ability to combat whatever disease, ailment, or ill-ness it was prescribed for.
S.W.E.D. Society said it also sells mari-juana to those with a federally issued card from Health Canada stating they’re allowed to use marijuana for medicinal purposes.
“We are extremely strict on our poli-cies and we do not make exceptions for anyone,” Blender said.
To the east, across from Chester subway station, is Green Rhino Medicinal Cannabis, which opened its doors just over a month ago in a former women’s clothing and accessories shop. This dispensary has a much more spa-like feel with light wood and orange accents, and a large,
high desk along one wall located in a private members’ area separated by a velvet rope. Cool house music beats permeate the air.
Like at Weeds, several members filled the shop on a recent Friday morning, some of whom used a large clinical-looking magnifying glass to inspect their purchase. The Mirror made two attempts to speak with Green Rhino’s management, but never heard back.
While these new “green” retail-ers seem to be doing brisk business, some of those
who live, work and operate busi-nesses in the area aren’t too sure what to make of them.
The legalization and regulation of
marijuana has not yet been adopted by any level of government in Ontario, therefore these dispensaries are tech-nically operating illegally, according to the City of Toronto, Toronto police, and Health Canada.
There are only a select few dis-pensaries authorized by Health Canada to distribute marijuana by mail to those with verified pre-scriptions. According to Health Canada’s website, it states neither Health Canada nor the Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR) authorizes licensed produc-ers to provide marijuana for medical purposes through a storefront.
Life-long area resident Natalie Hosmer said she’s “disappointed” with the number of weed shops
that have popped up along the Danforth.
“I’m concerned that it takes away from the vibrant neighbourhood we have,” she said. “I’m concerned about the safety of the neigh-bourhood as well as the fact that visually seeing so many of these shops makes the neighbourhood less attractive for resi-dents and visitors.”
Mother of three Mara Cole, who has lived in the area for 26 years, is also concerned about the marijuana dispensa-ries.
“If a business is operating illegally we need to shut it down,” she said. “Once it’s legal, it’s fair game.”
K e i l e y A b b a t both lives and runs a business in the area and like many has no problem with medical marijuana dispensaries as long as they’re above board and legal. Her concern is with the
number of weed shops in a three-block radius.
“While nobody seems to take issue with legally dispensed weed for medi-cal reasons, most find that the recent ‘crop’ that has suddenly opened are too many for such a small area,” she said. “Many are very concerned about what types of people will start making the Danforth a destination.”
Abbat said the Danforth used to be a “vibrant shopping experience for neighbours and people from outside the community,” but with high rents more and more retailers are leaving the strip, making way for corporate stores and weed shops.
T h e D a n f o r t h B u s i n e s s Improvement Area (BIA) has received several emails from residents as well as members “remarking on the pro-liferation” of cannabis dispensaries in the area, said BIA chair Albert Stortchak.
He said this led his organization to do some research and speak with the local MP, city councillors and the police.
“From our understanding, medi-cal marijuana is legal, but the only way to get it is through the mail. These places fall into a grey zone,” said Stortchak, who has owned Der Dietemann Antiques at Broadview and Danforth avenues for 26 years. “Many are asking if the BIA can do something, but we can’t control who the landlords rent to. We’re not the only neighbourhood that is experi-encing this.”
Ward 30 Toronto-Danforth Councillor Paula Fletcher said her office has received a number of call and emails from constituents about the weeds shops along the Danforth.
“It’s unbelievable. They’re spring-ing up like weeds,” she said during a recent interview, adding she’s in talks with the city’s legal department about how to address this issue. “This is a de-regulated marijuana market we’re in and it’s not just a little city issue.”
Fletcher said it’s up to the federal government to get its act together and regulate the sale and distribute of medical marijuana.
“It’s the wild, wild west on the Danforth and all we can do is try to figure out a way so they can’t open up so close to each other,” she said.
In an April 22 letter to Mayor John Tory, Fletcher and her Ward 29 coun-terpart, Mary Fragedakis, are calling on the mayor to consider what the city can do regarding what they’re calling the “over concentration” of marijuana-related retailers in one neighbourhood; in particular along Danforth Avenue.

Bloor bike lanes the correct path to improving safetyToronto councillors may feel they will have a
tough decision to make when they meet next week.
Absent any advice from the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee, councillors will have to decide whether to launch a pilot project on Bloor Street West to see whether a short stretch of that road can endure and maybe even benefit from a bikeway, separated from car and truck traffic.
Watching the strained debate that took place Monday at the committee, one might think the deci-sion would strain even the wisdom of King Solomon.
Bloor Street is a significant east-west artery, and removing the lanes from car traffic will cut automo-tive access in half. At the same time, climate change and a growing population dictate that we cannot
continue to encourage fossil fuel-burning cars and trucks in our downtown without offering safe alternatives. Yes, it’s another battle of car versus bike.
We hope that when this comes to Toronto council, councillors will stand down from the battle-ments and take a rational look
at this very rational plan to consider expanding our city’s cycling network.
The pilot project is just that – an experiment to see how Bloor Street and the surrounding neighbour-hoods would fare if the city were to install cycling infrastructure similar to the separated bike lanes on Sherbourne Street, and on Richmond and Adelaide streets. The separated lanes have worked out well there, in some cases tripling the number of cyclists using the routes.
That’s impressive enough. But there is another more immediate reason for trying separated lanes on Bloor.
As it stands, the street is dangerous for cyclists. Between 2008 and 2012, the stretch of road in ques-tion – between Shaw Street and Avenue Road – has had an average of 22 collisions a year. Most of those were dooring, followed by a motorist trying to pass a cyclist and a motorist driving into a cyclist out of on-street parking.
Separated bike lanes would reduce those types of accidents. It would make all Torontonians safer.
That, in and of itself, is worth a look when it comes to this pilot project. Council only has one choice.

Dedicated lanes make streets safer
Roots of Bombardier streetcar deal go back to 2009When Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) chair Josh Colle and CEO Andy Byford stood up Monday to talk about Bombardier and the missing light rail vehicles, they didn’t want to dwell on the past.
On the one hand, it’s an odd subject to avoid, given the trouble the city is having with its elusive new streetcars is very much a consequence of past deci-sions.
On the other hand, the business of the day on Monday had nothing to do with repudiating past administrations, and every-thing to do with delivering Bombardier Transportation the most scathingly public single-star Yelp! review possible.
Bombardier had it coming.
The Montreal-based company should have, by the schedule of delivery, provided a total of 73 new streetcars delivered to the TTC by the end of 2015.
Actually delivered in that time? Fourteen. And as of
today? Seventeen.There were problems,
mostly to do with a deci-sion by Bombardier to outsource production of some of the custom parts to Mexico.
But Bombardier had assured the TTC that they were ironed out, and prom-ised to have 54 delivered by the end of 2016.
On Monday, Bombardier made it clear, via a new CEO, that if they work very hard they can guarantee 13 additional vehicles will be delivered by the end of the year.
That means the TTC will likely have to refurbish even more of its stock of older streetcars, adding to the $34.1 million it’s already spending to do so because of the earlier backlog.
Bombardier’s covering that much. But because of the contract the city signed,
it is only liable for $51 mil-lion in costs due to delay. It is here, of course, that one is led straight to the past – specifically, to 2009, when former mayor David Miller convened a special council meeting during a long civic strike, to ink the $1.2-bil-lion deal with Bombardier that would eventually go so very wrong.
Toronto paid a larger portion of the purchase price than it should have, as Ottawa turned down a request to pay for a third of the bill, and it came at the cost of deferring certain capital projects.
It was a competitive bid-ding process, but an imper-fect one, as the only serious competitor – the German-owned manufacturer Siemens – struggled with Canadian content require-ments and effectively disqualified itself with an untenably high bid.
And Bombardier won the contract, with a require-ment for only 25 per cent Canadian content and as it turns out a sweetheart of a
contract. It’s hard to say what
Miller’s city government might have done differ-ently. Perhaps held out for more bidders? Enforced a larger Can-Con rule to keep production out of Mexico, or done away with it entirely and forgone fund-ing that was dependent on it? Or just paid hundreds of millions more for the same number of streetcars to a foreign-owned company with a good record?
This, perhaps, is another reason why Byford and Colle aren’t too quick to blame the Miller regime for the decision. In the end, going with any of those options involved taking a chance on one of a range of options.
And while it might not always turn out the case, in this case the least expen-sive, most tempting option, was the worst bet.

Many people living in East York do not know that it is the home of one of the finest community art collections in Canada.
Not only does this collec-tion contain many fine pieces by local artists, it also con-tains works by members of the famous Group of Seven. The collection is preserved by the East York Foundation, which was established by then township reeve True Davidson.
This was done though the passing of provincial legisla-tion in order to preserve the cultural holdings and artifacts of the township of East York. This legislation was updated in 1967 when the Village of Leaside and the Borough of East York were amalgamated. In 2004 the City of Toronto formally recognized the East York Foundation and today it is the formal custodian of artifacts from the time it was a borough and a township.
A board of directors today oversees the management of an extensive collection of art, sculpture, rare books and documents.
The board works with the City of Toronto to ensure that this collection is preserved as professionally as possible.
As many of the holdings as possible are on view.
This May, a special display of oil paintings by several notable artists from the col-lection will be on display at the S. Walter Stewart Library. One of the leading painters of the display is Barker Fairley (1887 to 1986) who is an artist and also had a notable career as professor of German at the University of Toronto until his retirement in 1957. Fairley was a contemporary of the Group of Seven and was one of the founders of Canadian Forum Magazine. After his retirement from academia, Fairley became very active as a portrait and landscape artist, where you can see the Group of Seven influence in his sparse geometric style.
Fairley was recognized for his contribution to the
arts and academia by being made an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1978. Another offering is from the works Fred Haines (1879 to 1960), who was well known for his paintings, engravings and prints, as well as being an art educator.
Having received his train-ing in Europe, Haines had a notable career in the arts community, being a member of the Royal Canadian Academy as well as a curator at the Toronto Gallery of Art and a principal of the Ontario College of Art. Best known for his landscapes of Rural Ontario, his “Bridge, Niagara on the Lake” is an excellent example of his style.
The display will be on for only a month and it would be a shame to miss seeing this amazingly beautiful artwork.

“I had a feeling it had to do with the discovery and got a sick feeling in my stomach,” she told The Mirror.
“The neighbourhood has changed a lot since I’ve been here.”
Long-time Leslieville resident Fraser Gauthier also recently witnessed police activity at the port lands facility.
Around 1 p.m. Friday, he went down to the transfer station to dispose of some building materials but was turned away by an employee at the gate who told him the facility is closed for an inves-tigation pertaining to the torso found a few days ear-lier near Broadview Avenue and Gerrard Street East.
“He advised my husband to come back Monday when it hopefully would be re-opened,” Gauthier’s wife, Julie, said.
“They were searching for parts that may have been dumped.”
Gauthier, who has lived
near Queen Street East and Greenwood Avenue for 24 years, was advised to try coming back Monday when the transfer station would hopefully reopen.
The Commissioners Street Transfer Station was open for business Monday morn-
ing.Police did not provide any
details about this part of the investigation.
On Tuesday, April 19, an employee at Charlie’s Meat Store, 383 Broadview Ave. at Simpson Avenue, located what appeared to be human
remains in a bag behind the East Toronto Chinatown butcher shop.
Police were called to the scene around 11:20 a.m.
Later on that evening, Det. Sgt. Terry Browne of Toronto Police Service’s Homicide Squad said the
remains appear to be those of a woman with light skin.
And while Browne would not reveal exactly what part of the woman’s body was found, he did indicate it appears the death was “fairly recent” based on the condi-tion of the remains.
T h e O n t a r i o C h i e f Coroner’s Office confirmed Wednesday, April 20 that the remains were human.
Const. Jenifferjit Sidhu said at this point the inves-tigation is ongoing and no further updates are available at this time.
“We are still actively searching and investigat-ing the area,” she said early Monday afternoon.
“There’s no concrete information yet.”
Anyone with information should contact police at 416-808-7400, Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477) , online at www.222tips.com, or text TOR and your message to CRIMES (274637).

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an oppor-tunity, wrote author Khalil Gibran.
And documentary film-maker David Bajurny has cap-tured the essense of this quote in his work, Sybil and Betts: Requiem for a Friendship, which will be part of The Caregiver Show Friday, May 6 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Ontario Science Centre.
The documentary shares the story of two friends who have been friends for 50 years and continue to go on many adventures despite Betts’ Alzheimer’s diagnosis.
Bajurny said the topic of filming someone with Alzheimer’s was very “deli-cate” and he tried to be very aware not to be exploitive.
He added that filming was sometimes challenging because Sybil works at the speed of light and Betts is
very quiet. “She was aware at times
what was going on. But the degree the disease was pro-gressing to interview her was very challenging.”
Bajurny also juggled with the fact that those living with Alzheimer’s have good days and bad days.
“You can be be having a perfectly normal conversa-tion and they may ask you something you talked about five minutes ago. It can be jarring,” he said.
As a filmmaker, he adapted to these challenges by staying true to the theme of the docu-mentary: friendship.
“As long as we stayed true to Sybil being the best friend she can be to Betts and enrich her life and not focus so much on remembering on what hap-pened yesterday but enjoying those moments together – that seemed to be the most authen-tic,” Bajurny said.
The Caregiver Show is a resource day for family care-
givers and more than 50 exhib-itors are scheduled to attend. The show will allow attendees to learn about various health topics, demonstrations from the participating organiza-tions and experts as well as the resources, services and products available for caregiv-ing needs.
Participants will also have a chance to connect with other caregivers and professionals in the industry.
Caregivers will also be able to rejuvenate themselves in the Rest and Relaxation Zone where they can enjoy a little pampering and replenish their energy levels.
This area will also help teach caregivers ways to take care of themselves as they perform a very stressful job.
Admission to the show is free. Parking at The Science Centre will be discounted to $5 for those attending the show.

Toronto Council will have the final — and only — word on a proposed pilot project to build a separated bike lane on a small stretch of Bloor Street, after the city’s Public Works and Infrastructure Committee emerged deadlocked from public hearings Monday.
Running on a bare four-member quorum, the com-mittee was split evenly between supporters of the pilot project — York West Councillor Anthony Perruzza and Beaches-East York Councillor Mary Margaret McMahon — and those who opposed the plan — Etobicoke Centre Councillor Stephen Holyday and Committee Chair Jaye Robinson.
Under Council’s rules of procedure, that means that
Toronto Council will deal with the report on the pilot project without advice from the committee.
But the committee itself received plenty of advice — mostly from members of the public who strongly advo-cated setting up the pilot, which would see separated bike lanes installed on Bloor Street between Shaw Street and Avenue Road, beginning in September 2016.
“Torontonians want to ride, but they won’t do it unless we provide safe cycling infrastructure,” said Jarod Kolb, executive director of bicycling advocacy group CycleToronto.
Kolb was one of numerous deputants who noted that other separated bike lanes have dramatically increased the amount of cyclists on the road. Separated lanes
installed earlier this term on Richmond and Adelaide streets increased bike traffic threefold.
The committee also heard from Gideon Forman of the David Suzuki Foundation, who argued that the bike lanes would encourage people to leave their cars at home.
“The research we looked at suggests that even if a small number of people shift, it can make a substantial difference in air quality,” said Forman.
The committee heard from bike clubs from some of the nine schools along the route, and from more agitated activ-ists — some of whom bristled at questions from commit-tee members regarding the impact that the lanes would have on car traffic. Vehicular lanes on the route would be reduced from four to two,
with one lane of on-street parking.
“Why is the convenience of motorists holding sway over the safety of others?” asked Wayne Scott, director of Hoof and Cycle. “The people that live in the downtown area understood what we’re talk-ing about.”
Scott was referring to polls conducted by the city indi-cating that a large percent-age of people living in the neighbourhood who were both cyclists and pedestrians supported the pilot project. Opinion was sharply divided among motorists and shop owners. There were a few who spoke against the bike lane pilot project. David Turnbull, speaking on behalf of the Canadian Courier and Logistics Association, said the lanes could complicate just-in-time deliveries to
businesses in the area.Resident Sarah Henderson
said that cyclists should stay on existing lanes on Harbord Street, which was “fabulous for bikes.”
Councillors were divided. De p u t y Ma yo r De n z i l Minnan-Wong, not a member of the committee, indicated he was concerned that the pilot project had no clear measurement of success.
“How many extra bikes have to use Bloor Street before you declare victory?” he asked.
General Manager Stephen Buckley said that staff were not measuring success based on ridership, but he said that he expected that riders would double. He said far more important was a reduction in the number of collisions between cyclists and vehicles. Last year, there were 22.
Councillor Holyday put forward a motion to receive the item, which had it passed would have recommended shelving the pilot project.
“I’ve been frustrated with this discussion — it’s reminis-cent of a community council meeting,” he said. “This is a city-wide issue and my con-cern is that of most motorists in the west end.”
Holyday noted that there are few east west routes into the downtown core. “This is a vital route, and I feel just like in the Gardiner Expressway discussion, someone is trying to build an invisible wall. It’s an impassioned group, but it’s a minority, the cyclists.”
The bike lane pilot proj-ect would, if successful, pave the way for bike lanes extending further along Bloor Street, possibly east to the Danforth.
Council will make decision on Bloor Street bike lane

Ontario’s annual awards for promoting locally-grown food have recognized 65 grocery stores and two companies this year.
The Foodland Ontario Retailer Awards celebrate stores that use new ideas, creative displays and inno-vative promotions to increase awareness and sales of Ontario-grown fruits and vegetables. The 2016 award winners were announced Friday, April 8.
Awards were handed out in five categories, including Foodland Ontario Award of Excellence, which honoured four stores this year.
Three of the four Award of Excellence honours went to Metro stores at Lakeshore Road in Mississauga, Front Street in Orillia and Eglinton Square in Scarborough. Sobey’s location at Ira Needles Boulevard in Kitchener rounded out the 2016 Award of Excellence winners.
The Vision Award, which commends a corporate com-mitment to local food, was given to Metro and Food Basics, in the conventional and discount categories respectively.
Metro and Metro-owned Food Basics also earned several honours in the other
three award categories — The Platinum All Seasons Award, The Gold Category Award and The Silver Award of Merit.
“The awards that Metro and Food Basics won demon-strate the incredible effort our stores put into showcasing local food, and we’re incred-ibly pleased to have been recognized for supporting Ontario’s produce growers,” André Gagné, vice presi-dent of fresh merchandis-ing for Metro, told Metroland Media.
“The ability to purchase local food is also incredibly important to our customers and an expectation that our stores certainly deliver on.”
Other 2016 award winners include stores operated by Foodland Supermarkets, Longo’s, No Frills, Schell’s Market, Sobey’s, Stewart’s
Town and Country Market, Your Independent Grocer and Zehrs.
Started in 1987, the awards applaud and encourage efforts to inform consumers about the diversity of Ontario-grown fruits and vegetables.
“Buying local food not only provides families with healthy and delicious options, but creates jobs and economic growth in communities across the province,” said Jeff Leal, minister of agriculture, food and rural affairs, in a press release announcing the 2016 award winners.
“I applaud grocery retailers for looking at innovative ways to connect consumers with their food and the people who grow it so they have a deeper understanding and apprecia-tion for the good things grown in Ontario.”
There are more than 51,950 Ontario farms.
Foodland Ontario has more 1,200 licensing agreements allowing products to use the Foodland Ontario logo. More than 1,000 are with Ontario farmers producing fruit, vegetables, proteins (meats), eggs, maple syrup and honey.
About 20 per cent of production from Ontario farms is exported internationally.
Ontario’s international agri-food exports in 2015 were $14.07 billion. Inter-provincial exports are not tracked.
ONTARIO FOOD FACTS
Ontario food processors are the biggest buyers of Ontario agricultural goods, buying 65 per cent of what is produced locally.
More than 200 agricultural commodities are produced on Ontario farms.

It turns out Toronto did apply to a provincial program for bike funding after all.
Last week, Metroland Media Toronto reported the provincial government had handed out $10 million to 37 municipalities for cycling infrastructure, but nothing for Toronto. At the time it was unknown whether Toronto had applied for funding, which provides up to 50 per cent of the cost of a single project.
This week, Toronto Cycling director Jacquelyn Hayward-Gulati confirmed $52,000 was sought to cover half the cost for an “Automatic Bike Counter Network to dem-onstrate the impact of the Toronto cycling network”.
wVEHICLE IN TUNNEL CAUSES 10-HOUR DELAY
Another wayward motorist has ended up in a TTC street-car tunnel.
The incident took place early morning Sunday and the driver, in an SUV with Alberta plates, according to the TTC, entered the Queens Quay
tunnel leading into Union Station, driving for 600 metres before getting stuck.
The driver fled, and the vehicle was towed. Service was restored about 10 hours after the incident.
wSTREETCAR DELAY TO impACT CHERRY ROUTE
Questions were raised as to what will happen with the new Cherry service now that Bombardier has confirmed it can only deliver 13 more new streetcars this year.
Set to debut in June, the 514 Cherry route is intended to relieve pressure on the belea-guered 504 King service on the western portions of King Street. The 514 is slated to serve King West from Cherry to Dufferin streets, using the new streetcars.
Even though only a maxi-mum of 30 new vehicles will be in service by the end of the year, that’s still enough for
some to operate on the 514 route, said TTC CEO Andy Byford.
wmETROLiNX TALKS OLD RiVERDALE EXpANSiON
An on-and-off public tran-sit meeting to discuss GO Transit’s expansion efforts in Old Riverdale is apparently on again.
The meeting to be hosted by Metrolinx was supposed to have taken place this week. But travel issues and Toronto-Danforth MPP Peter Tabuns getting stricken with the flu meant a second postpone-ment.
Metrolinx has confirmed a meeting date of Monday, May 2 at 7 p.m. The meeting loca-tion was still unknown as of press deadline. At the meet-ing, Metrolinx will discuss the work done thus far.
Contact Tabuns’ constitu-ency office at 416-461-0223 for an update.
